I got a whole bag of scraps; everything from leftovers from sewing projects to worn-out underwear. Some of it for things like rag rugs or crazy quilts, some for gun-cleaning rags... whatever. Also several worn out knitted stuff that I will unravel for more yarn when I need it. I keep and...

same as when I test the viability of old seed

fava and pea microgreens/sprouts taste like favas and peas- great in salads

"Well poultry is safe but too small to be worth it." :lol:

Your sister's place sounds very much like mine. Where does she live?

Might try looking up other hair jewelry. Elephant bracelet? or Victorian Hair Mourning jewelry?

During the daytime, we don't usually have problems with the predators as Millie, our LGD, takes her job seriously guarding the chickens. She doesn't even want to be around when we butcher a chicken. Soon as she sees DH grabbing THAT knife and the axe, she goes and hides in the bedroom. I guess...

Hello and Welcome

Anyone else live in high desert at 4300' altitude?

The red color tells you there's more minerals in it, as well as anthocyanins. I prefer red cabbage when I roast with pork; it seems to have a richer flavor. Your taste buds age, and eventually can't sense some of the more delicate nuances. Some people (like me!) start enjoying spicy foods...

Yeah. We live in an area that has the highest population of Bald Eagles except for Alaska. Plus Red Tails and other assorted raptors... plus a family of skunks that have lived in the culverts by the side of the road for several years now... plus foxes, raccoons... A couple months ago our...

Why worry about where you live? It's temporary, any way you look at it.

I swear I spend most of my free time filling capsules; cinnamon for my blood sugar, turmeric for inflammation, chaga mushroom for immunity.

Yep. People don't realize that when a person signs that dotted line, they are offering up their LIFE for their country; even if no war happens while they are serving.

I render lard and tallow when I can get the fat. Mostly I render schmaltz from the chickens. I used to use coconut fat and olive oil a lot. Now, I only use olive oil to make salad dressings.

DH is jealous that you have a Bobcat! I have difficulty imagining soil that only requires 10-13 slams.

My tinnitus and accompanying hearing loss appears to be genetic. My father had it, and so does my brother. The normal loss of hearing that most people experience as the age is greatly accelerated in us so that my hearing at age 69 is comparable to that of an 80 year old. I don't know if I...

We have mostly Ponderosa, which I think is one of the more dangerous ones. Spruce has many of the same virtues, however, and is quite safe.
